TOPS N' TOGS

What this record means

The record shows that “TOPS N’ TOGS” is a dead Supplemental Register mark owned by GENERAL SPORTWEAR CO., INC., a corporation organized in New York. The mark was registered on March 17, 1959 and expired on December 15, 2000 after the owner failed to renew. It covers children’s playwear such as shirts, jackets, shorts, overalls, dungarees, slacks, pedal pushers, and rompers. A similar name used for comparable children’s clothing would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it is limited to the goods listed. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially registered on the Supplemental Register and later cancelled under Section 8(10‑yr)/Section 9 after the renewal deadline passed. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. If you’re thinking of a similar name for children’s apparel, this history suggests a meaningful risk of similarity.
